Many Syrians are mostly White (I mean, come on, just look at their President) but I doubt hardly any Syrians are wholly White. Same story for the Mid-East/West Asia in general.
Middle East is mixed-race 'mystery meat' territory that was White in ancient times... (yeah!)

A nearly two-year-old thread, back from the dead... I wonder what the OP is up to these days. Good old 2011...

Yes the president is White but the Middle East has been invaded. It's the same story are Armenians and Turks White if so why are they White..Are Circassians White are the Lebanese White.

Why don't they ask if White people live there? Like Why they live in Brazil South Africa why are White Mexicans Spanish? Etc.

Any Asian whom is of Aryan stock is a reminiscent of European invasion/conquest.

I am Syrian, and I study medicine in Yemen and have intersts in human evolution and physical appearnce of human. Yes, Syria is not white country because not all its population are white-skinned people according to your logic, and that is true. what I am trying to say that not all syrians are white nor not-white. I know, we read that about 90% of syrians are arabs. and that is not true. specially when the arabism-ba'athism is telling you who you are. A lot of syrians look white like south and east of europe and also a lot look like arabs and iraqis with dark features.I made this little statistic about the syrians physical features in my university on syrian students there ( 10 students as a standard ) :
_____
6 students are White.
1 student mediterranean white.
3 student brown-dark white.
_____
3 students are blue-eyed.
1 student is green-hazal eyed.
6 students are brown eyed.
_____
3 students are blonde haired.
1 student light brown haired.
6 student black-brown haired.
_____
( note : I live in yemen (for studying ), the original home of arabs. they are not white, they are brown to black. that's true. they also mixed with africans
and in very minimal cases with brits ).

In the end, bashar al-assad is criminal. I don't think he is truly against Isreal, and you should also. Support us.

Syrian people can be classified into three sections according to their geographic areas also :

1- indigenous deep-rooted Syrians (The Original population ) : are characterised by Mediterranean European features ( mainly like : Greece, Italy, and Balkan region ), these are mainly White-skinned, brown-haired with exceptions (Dominint trait Hereditary ).and Brown, green ,Hazel and blue eyed. there were living all over Syria. But nowadays, they live in Damascus, Homs, Aleppo, Syrian coast and Hama ( the western, North and middle parts of Syria ), they are mostly Muslim Sunnis. there are also the Alawite branch of Shia Muslims, there are also the Ismailis ( known historically as the Assassins ). there are also Christians, but not as the second group.

2- non-indigenous Syrians : are :
A-Assyrians : ( also known as Syriacs ), this ethnic group is orginated from ancient Iraq. they are semitic, very related to other semitic ethnic groups near Syria. there are brown-skinned, Dark features, black haired. they are Christians.

B-Jews : Jews who inhabit the region of the modern state of Syria, and their descendants born outside Syria. they are brown to Dark white with exceptions.

C- People of the Caucasus : these include chechens, ingush, shirkesses and armenians. the chenchens are mostly very white with various types of eye colours and hair (mostly brown haired, blonde, red ) as will as the ingush. they are muslims sunni school. shirkesses also very white you can say the same to them as related to chechens and ingushs.
Armenians are white, they mostly live in Aleppo, most of them have the syrian nationality, they are Eastern Christians. they came to syria after thier genocide in turkey.

D- Arabs : they are Dark-Brown semitic ethnic group that live south and east of Syria in Der-ezor and Dara'a and Hasaka. They are mostly Muslims. they came to Syria after the Arabian invasion of Syria in 700.

E- Kurds : they are Dark white with brownish mixture with exceptions. they live north of syria and east.

3- Syrian Dispora.

So, you can not say Syrians by nationality are white. Syria is geographic area, within its border many ethnics live.

A lot of Gulf arabian people come to marry from syrians mostly from Syrian lower part. I asked one of them, why do you want syrian girl for you self ? he said : For White P****.

Assyrians aren't all dark skinned, I know a few that are blonde and blue eyed, they go to Greek Orthodox Churches. Anyways they hate Turks, Muslims and are fine by me.

When will everyone here realize that the white population does not stop at the Black Sea and the Ural Mountains?
Many millions of whites are scattered across Siberia as the result of The Russian conquest of this area during the 1600s.

Likewise, you will see a large percentage of whites in Syria. As you move east from there to Iraq and Iran, a declining percentage.
Moving east from there into Afghanistan, you will even see pockets of white and even blue-eyed people.
Why is this? Simple. This is the area conquered by and colonized by Alexander the Great's troops centuries ago. See the link below
